The un-nuanced approach of Raul Martinez' supporters
Ever since Raul Martinez and Joedilocks announced their candidacies they have been trying to sell a "nuanced" approach to Cuba. They are for the embargo, they claim. They just want people to be able able to visit their families in Cuba. It's all humanitarian you see. But the truth is that some of the most ardent anti-embargo advocates are among the financial backers of both of these clowns. Why are these people so opposed to Lincoln and Mario Diaz -Balart. It's not because they haven't been effective legislators. It's exactly the opposite. Lincoln and Mario have gone to Washington and represented the wishes of their constituents effectively. They have earned the support of members of both parties to try and keep a hard-line toward Cuba that does not compromise. That's right, no compromise, no negotiation with the castro brothers. But many of Raul and Joe's supporters are cut from a different cloth.
Here's a nice piece of electioneering material (Spanish only, sorry) from the Republican Party that exposes how these pro-castro individuals are moving in support of Raul Martinez behind the scenes. These people will never be satisfied with just returning the travel restrictions to the way they were before 2004. Are you kidding me?

I don't like Alfredo Duran and I think he is a total moron but I don't think he is willingly pro-Castro. He's just not that bright. I saw Max Castro's name in there...holy crap I forgot that the most communist Castro this side of the straights is still alive. Now that guy is definitely pro-Fidel.
